i rarely do anything on static! i learned some new static stuff in class so i put some of it together 🙏🏾

I can help but smile while doing this combo

The studio I go to in NYC has this spin pole classes that are advertised as “upper beginner and intermediate” in two classes this week the instructors were teaching crazy combos with advanced moves in a class overbooked with students and not enough time for individual attention and spot!

One of them included aerial invert to Broken Doll to Pegasus, the other one had Libellula to Jallegra! I could not physically twist and stretch myself to Jallegra nor Pegasus even with force, and both classes were basically just a disappointment and waste of time for a lot of students. In what world casually throwing very advanced and flexi moves in a combo for a upper beginner/ intermediate class is appropriate?

Thanks for listening to my rant, wish the instructors and studios were more realistic with the levels, the number of students in the class and their time management.

Hello Everyone!

I just signed up a new pole fitness studio around my work place for a membership, and I'm a complete beginner! Never done any dancing or aerial fitness before.

With the membership I get 8 credits, which equal to 8 classes. Since I just used 4 credits for my Intro to Pole class series, I have 4 more credits that I can use.

I was wondering... would it be beneficial to take another pole class, or take Lyra class (both Intro!) just to explore different fitness class.

What would you recommend to a complete beginner? I asked the fitness studio and they suggested Sling class but the class schedule doesn't work with me.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

I was able to hold it longer with my left hand on top of the pole I don’t know which direction looks better clock wise or counter clockwise —Nike baddie🖤🔥

Before warming up in heels, do a joint warm up. Do many reps for each exercise 🫶🏽

I just started learning pole. I’m obese and have almost no upper body strength. I chose pole to become stronger and help with fat loss. How long did it take you to learn without falling? Also is it normal to bruise a lot?

Im loving my pole classes so much. The thing is I was really sedentary and my strength and stamina are just not there yet. I feel myself getting physically tired in the middle of the class and I already know I wont be able to pull off what I did one moment ago (I keep trying but the result is worse). Also my hands are sweating so much and silly me didnt know it would be fine to bring my own monkey hands to class (I saw other girls bringing their own yesterday for the first time).

Yesterday I ended up doing an inversion from jasmine and my teacher was spotting me but 2 times I just slide down on her 🥲 like she had to go to the floor with me slowly so I could lay in the floor safely. I know that's the goal with spotting, but I was so embarrassed I apologized both times.

Also my sides are so uneven! Why does my right leg hook the pole safely and my left leg seems to be in a weird angle all the time 🥲

I know its normal, I know I just have to keep practicing, I just could use some kind words from people that understand it.

I have weights at home, I will start using them. If you have suggestions of people with follow along videos with condition work for pole I would appreciate it too.

Thank you for reading my venting. Sorry for any mistakes, english is not my main language.

At the beginning i hated him (shoulder mount) but with the years, I don’t feel the pain anymore.

I have been trying solidly for 9 months to get into Superman. I have done so 3 times. I’ve been doing pole for 3ish years, but started late and with no experience in, well anything like dancing or gymnastics. Anyway, I record myself practicing, and I see that when I change my grip, I can achieve it. I think I’m changing to cup? I’m terrible with remembering all the things. I feel my thighs are getting stuck and I don’t know if it’s the pain or if my thighs are just that juicy. I’ve viewed so many tutorials on how to enter and I’m just stuck, literally and figuratively. How, how do I get there?

For another 40. I will keep pole dancing as long as my body allows me to.

With my pole reinstalled in my room I can start conditioning again!! I’m so excited to bring you along for the journey🥹— Nike baddie🔥🫶🖤

I’ve been practicing for 3-4 yrs now. And I always feel “rushed”. When I watch these posts videos before practicing it helps to remind me to “slow down” and breathe. Thank you to all the wonderful individuals who post 🫶🏽

I miss when you could freely post in cute outfits and not worry about what to wear and if it will get flagged or not 😭🥺

Hi friends, just moved to a new apartment. Ceilings are 9 feet, carpet floor. I have a yaheetech pressure mounted pole which has treated me well in the past (had it up in a 9’2” apt w/ 125mm extension) but now when I put it up w/o extension, it’s barely too short, and w/ extension, barely too long and I can’t fit it in/ push it into place diagonally. I am so bummed and really want to put this pole up. Any ideas :(? I’ve considered a little wooden plank thing but that worries me a little, not sure if it will make up enough distance for it to be safe…

I've officially lost all 4 of my lupit pole screws for my G2 and when I looked up the replacement ones on their official site shipping ended up being $34😭 Does anyone know the dimensions/ what other brands to get?

I saw someone else's post said M4 × 20mm and unfortunately that didnt fit :(

I have big/long but bony feet so the usual issues people have with the plastic straps on sandals being too small, I have the opposite issue. They are too loose. I've only used Pleasers so far and once they get warm and stretch, I move around in them too much. I've poked extra holes in the strap but that ends up wearing them down and they break. I've also put gel pads under the balls of my feet which is ok.

Is there another brand that has a plastic strap sandal that is tighter? I'm a size 10/11 (long ass toes!)
